With We Love Sounds on hiatus, there is a sever lack of Winter music festival activity in Sydney. The guys at Seasoned Music have addressed this with the aptly named Winter Music Festival.The two-day music event is being held at a disused five-star Double Bay hotel. Word on the street is that during its prime it played host to Princess Di, Madge and Michael Hutchence.Sporting a killer line-up, you can expect sets from The Swiss (live), Mitzi (live), Anna Lunoe and Bad Ezzy, Softwar, Slow Blow, Kato, Simon Caldwell and Gus Gruze.If you're already moist, expect to gush. The ticket price not only includes the tunes but also food and access to the open bar. Yep.Winter Music33 Cross St, Double BaySat 9th-Sun 10th July, 2011Tix from Moshtix DANdan@dailysydney.com

They're hot, sweaty, naked and often enough you'll be subjected to a haze of amyl nitrate. This Queen's Birthday long weekend, the biggest and best gay disco of 'em all, Gay Bash returns to Sydney. It just so happens that it'll be turning five and like all old Queens, has developed a taste for gimp suits, leather caps and moustaches.For all you gay disco virgins, this is the ultimate way to pop your cherry.DJs: Perfect Snatch, Softwar, Dangerous Dan (Bang Gang), Kato, Matt Van Schie, Bloodfart, Power Suit, Sex Azza Weapon, Nicky Night Time, Slow Blow, Jimmy 2 Sox, Hobophonics, Double Nolan, Pvt, Han Valen, Bon De Veire, Champagne Hangover, Hazuki and many more.Here's a little mix from Softwar to prepare you: Mobile users, click here to listen.Gay Bash - Leather Regions @ Oxford Hotel134 Oxford St, DarlinghurstSun 12th June, 201110PM kick offTix @ $20 from MoshtixDAN
